6:30 Dinner with Me. I can’t cancel that again.
The Grinch from How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Recently on Sheri’s Dream Catcher’s Instagram Sip N Think Live Chat held on December 19, 2020, our topic of discussion was about Sheri becoming the Grinch who was trying to put herself in someone else’s shoes. Additionally, I wanted to let you learn a little something about me and how my blended family works together and doesn’t when shit happens. For this episode, my son was driving my truck with his two brothers and it started to shut off while he was driving. Luckily, he was able to park it at Walmart when it shut off completely.
This also happened the day after a major snow storm in the RI area. As in illustration, it was 4:30pm and the sun had just gone down. The temperature was only 21 degrees out and their was ice and snow all over the roads. My emotions were triggered and all over the place. I was calm on the outside, but my insides were swirling like a tornado. Blood pressure was rising to beyond functioning level. I was thinking about my son, his brothers and my daughter. Additionally, I was thinking about my broken down truck and how I was going to get it home and how much money it was going to cost to get fixed. I won’t lie, I was also thinking about myself and how cold and tired I was and all I wanted to do was go home.
External Factors affecting the Grinch’s Heart in 2020
Since Covid cases have risen drastically in RI and the fact that I work in the health field, you can only imagine the stress my body and mental was already under. I have been trying really hard to maintain a good mental and emotional balance just from work , bills, and Covid impacts alone. Yes, these are all external factors and with these complications, my family and loved ones are the ones affected by it most of all. I am a firm believer in the fact that if God brought you to it, he will get you thru it. As a result, I do what I must given the duties and responsibilities laid upon me. This is what a MOM does. This is what a Leader does. This is what Love does.
WE TYPICALLY SIP & THINK WITH OUR SIP & THINK MUG FOR OUR LIVE DISCUSSIONS
The Envision Dream design represents your own personal journey when pieced together. The Rainbow Heart is placed behind the Journey.
The heart represents your own heart. Your heart is a delicate part of you but also a strong piece of you (the individual). When you put your heart into something, it makes it that much more personal to you. This is important for when you come to an obstacle or road block in your path. Their will be times that are hard and complicated. As well as unexpected events along the journey. When this happens, you will need to look into your heart.Â
Coincidently, The Grinch’s heart grew when he realized what the true meaning of Christmas was. He needed to look into his heart to figure out what really matters the most. When my son called me to say “mom, I know you are going to be mad because the truck is not clean”, my reply was “all that matters is that you are ok”. Material things can always be replaced but you my son, cannot.

“Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a Store. Maybe Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!”
